Alpha King of Fire

STILL A MONSTER

FIRA’S POV

Pyro ran faster as I fell on the ground. My butt was aching, that was why I could not stand up. I touched my back and winced. “Ouch.”

I was stunned, my eyes widened when he held my thighs and lifted me up. Going back to the bed, he sat me there and stood up in front of me.

“Sorry, King Fire. I didn’t mean to sleep here with you. I am just tired yesterday so I didn’t notice that-”

“Relax.” He bent his body, put his hands on his knees. “Are you okay?”

“Yes. It’s just…” I held my back. “It hurts.”

He looked worried. He sat beside me and called Seryo. The guard immediately went inside. He was not shocked when he saw me because I was unable to go out last night.

“Yes, your majesty?” Seryo bowed to him.

“Ask Omega to bring us foods inside and call the doctor to look for Fira-”

“No, no, no!” I recklessly moved my head. “I am fine. I don’t need a doctor. You are the one who needs to be checked.” I peeked on his back. It seemed like his dorsal was swollen and red.

He just moved his head in an upright direction. “Bring the doctor to check me and don’t forget the food.”

My lips drew a smile. Pyro was listening to me. Zephyrus said he would not let the doctor touch him and now, he called him. That was good news.

“I will go, King Fire. Sorry again.” I stood up and was about to leave when he spoke.

“Stay for breakfast.”

“But I am not allowed to accompany the king? I am just a low rank omega and-”

“You are my friend.” He cut my words. He always did that, maybe he was being mad with my noisy mouth.

In the end, I had no choice, but to stay. We were both silent as we waited for the food. I remember my father, I failed to go to him. Maybe later after work.

“What’s running in your mind?” When I viewed his face, he was wrinkling his forehead.

“My father.”

“I will find him, too. Don’t overthink.”

“Thank you.” I looked at his back. “Let me see.” I smiled when he immediately turned his back and showed me. “Too bad. Let me clean that before I go out.”

“Thanks.”

I could not believe that I actually ate with Pyro. We were talking about random things, making my day bright.

After breakfast, I checked on him, his fever was gone, that was why I immediately went out to do my job. The whole day I was talking to Cass while washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. I was so tired when the night came by.

“Where did you sleep last night!” The hands of Eira were on her waist. Her eyes were super mad. “I am worrying to you all the time!”

“I slept in King Fire’s room.” I had no energy, walking and sitting on the chair in front of the mirror.

“What! What did he do to you!” She gritted her teeth while her eyes were burning.

“Nothing. I fell asleep because I was worrying too much. Did you find our father?”

She shook her head with frustration. I could see that she had no sleep, the eyebag below his eyes were obvious, she looked so tired.

When I looked down on her neck, my body froze. “Did King Ice hurt you again?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She covered her neck and shook her head recklessly. She was lying to me.

This is too much! I will go to Colden and talk to him!

“He needs to pay for that! Even if he is a king, he should not hurt you like that!” I recklessly stood up as my tears welled up. Even if I went to him, I could not do anything. That would just cause a bigger problem.

I wiped my tears with the back of my digits and let the sound of my sobs heard. “I am so tired. I can’t find our father. I am worrying so much to the point that I break out and then this!” I pointed to her neck. “Why is the world so harsh to us! We are good species, right? We didn’t harm anyone, but why does this freaking world give us so much suffering!”

I covered my face with my hands, the sounds of my cry went loud. “It’s hard being an Omega. Being a low class weak born being.”

I felt the hug of Eira, I embraced her back. We tightly hugged each other.

“I can’t fight, Fira. I’m sorry.” Eira buried her face on my shoulder, she sobbed so bad. I knew that Colden affected her so much.

She is a strong woman. Whatever struggle blocks her ways, she can fight because that is my sister, but when it comes to the higher rank like kings, she can not do something about that.

Maybe I will seek help from Pyro or Zephyrus. I know they can help me towards Colden.

Eira caressed my hair. She guided me to sit in front of the mirror. She brushed my hair after wiping my tears.

“It feels like the door is closing to us. Always remember what our parents always said.” She was staring at my face with the reflection of the mirror.

“We may be low born, but we have a high class heart.” I answered with all of my emotion, coming from the bottom of my heart.

She nodded and bent down to hug me. “Let’s trust destiny. It will give what belongs to us.”

I blew a loud sigh of sadness. “You learn how to fight, Eira, but why are you letting Colden hurt you?” Out of nowhere, my mouth asked the impossibility of her letting him.

“The truth is I can fight, but there is something that I don’t understand. He was saying sorry and even kneeling down in front of me after what he did.”

My eyebrows knitted. “What do you mean?”

“He is fighting the monster inside him.”

“You mean he is not in the right condition?”

“Yes. I need to know everything about him so I can understand. Maybe we have a wrong judgment.”

I shook my head. I could not absorb her statement. “He is still a monster.”
